Make up and be smooth

A few days ago, a mysterious car appeared near Xiangyun Town, Shunyi, Beijing. The car body is tightly wrapped, but it is not difficult to see through its unique lights that this car is the brand-new car of Xpeng Motors "MONA" which will debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show.

In February of this year, the test spy photos codenamed "MONA" were exposed by many media platforms.

As the listing of "MONA" approaches, it may change the dilemma of Xpeng Motors’s weak sales in the "new force of making cars".

Xpeng Motors sold 9,026 vehicles in March, and the cumulative sales in the first quarter reached 21,800 vehicles. According to the sales target of 280,000 vehicles in Xpeng Motors in 2024, less than 7.8% of them have been completed at present, and the pressure in the last three quarters can be imagined.

It is worth noting that Xpeng Motors’s sales performance is not good, and its performance situation is not optimistic. In 2023, the net loss of Xpeng Motors reached 10.38 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 13.6%.

Faced with the double pressure of sales and revenue, Xpeng Motors, which shouted "the first year of the knockout", urgently needs a "cardiotonic".

01

Sales in the first quarter underperformed the market.

According to the latest sales data released by Xpeng Motors, although it increased by 20% year-on-year, Tucki once again underperformed the market. You know, in 2021, Xpeng Motors once topped the list of new forces with an annual sales of 98,000 vehicles.

Looking back, in the first quarter of this year, the top three seats in the "new forces to build cars" were asking for boundaries, ideals and zero running. Among them, as a "new force", the delivery volume in the first quarter was 85,800 vehicles, up 636.27% year-on-year; The ideal, which was once as famous as Wei Lai and Tucki, has now "soared", with a delivery volume of 80,400 vehicles in the first quarter, a year-on-year increase of 52.9%; The zero-run car, which has been behind Tucki for several years, although there are still no more than 10,000 models at present, its market potential can not be underestimated according to the data of its delivery volume of 33,400 vehicles in the first quarter, with a year-on-year increase of 217.92%.

As a result, the once three-legged pattern of "Wei Xiaoli" has long since ceased to exist.

In addition to the increasing number of new car-making forces in the new energy market, the "second generation of cars" such as Extreme Krypton, Deep Blue and Lantu, which are backed by traditional car companies, are gradually getting better and gaining market share.

Under the fierce market competition, automobile products are compared by consumers under a "magnifying glass". Xpeng Motors’s own product weakness and sales service system are slowly emerging.

In terms of intelligence, as one of the first new forces to enter the market, Tucki once won a wave of market dividends by virtue of its P7 all-voice in-vehicle system and long battery life. However, in the past two years, Xpeng Motors, which still preaches "smart driving", not only has no obvious advantage in the actual expenditure on R&D, but also has a serious loss of R&D personnel.

In the second half of 2023, Xpeng Motors frequently lost its R&D "veteran". With the departure of Wu Xinzhou, vice president of Xpeng Motors Autopilot, the responsible persons of perception, decision-making and laser radar have also left. Recently, according to the interface news, Liu Yilin, senior director of Xpeng Motors Autopilot, will leave his post.

As a result, Xpeng Motors’s intelligent moat is thin.

Zhong Shi, an auto analyst, told New Energy Foresight, "Since Wang Fengying entered Tucki, Tucki has been undergoing an all-round organizational restructuring, but this internal rectification will take time and will affect its current performance to a certain extent; At the same time, Tucki is also somewhat weak in product strength, but from the planning of Tucki, it is actually slowly adjusting. This year, Tucki’s new products may improve after they are listed. "

02 once the explosion, into a dark moment.

However, at present, Xpeng Motors’s existing models have not formed a fighting force, and won sufficient time for its new products to appear and climb. Even in this sales report, Tucki P7, an explosive model that Xpeng Motors once prided itself on, has played the role of disappearing.

According to the statistics of the third-party platform, P7, once the "Hua Dan" in Xpeng Motors, has experienced a step-by-step sales performance since its listing, and will hold the title of the new power pure electric vehicle in 2021. However, this good time didn’t last long. Since the second half of 2023, the sales volume of Tucki P7 began to decline all the way. In February this year, the retail volume was less than 1,000 vehicles, which was a waist-cutting decline from the previous month, reaching 113.3%.

Sales declined, but the number of complaints increased, mainly focusing on issues such as battery life discount and power battery failure. At the beginning of November last year, 290 owners of Tucki P7 jointly sent a letter to He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xpeng Motors, expressing their dissatisfaction with the unfulfilled OTA upgrade.

To make matters worse, according to incomplete statistics, there have been many spontaneous combustion incidents in P7, Tucki since 2024.

Tucki P7′ s "reputation" is not as good as before.

Perhaps based on this, Tucki P7 has not been found in many Xpeng Motors stores in Beijing. However, due to the listing of Xiaomi SU7 and the steady improvement of sales of the new M7 in the world, the passenger flow of many Xpeng Motors stores is only single digits, and at the same time, it is obviously less than that of Xiaomi and Huawei.

In fact, since the first model of Xiaomi, SU7, was officially put on sale on March 28th, all major new brands have been impacted to some extent, but Xpeng Motors’s feedback on this matter seems to be particularly obvious.

However, Zhong Shi said, "The listing of Xiaomi SU7 will have a certain impact on Tucki P7 in the future, but not so soon. After all, the current delivery capacity of SU7 is not enough, and it takes time to climb the production capacity. Therefore, in the absence of sharing more market share, SU7 during this period will basically not pose too much threat to the market. "

In response to the current and expected competitive pressure, it has become Xpeng Motors’s choice to rush into the "wave of price reduction". On April 1st, Xpeng Motors issued a statement on the official platform, stating that from April 1st to April 30th, the 2024 Tucki G9 will start the subsidy for smart driving, and the current car will be reduced to a maximum of 20,000 yuan.

On April 15th, a poster of "Tucki P7 reappears in rivers and lakes" was circulated on multi-media platforms. The contents of the poster showed that the original price of a version of Tucki P7 was 239,900 yuan, and now the comprehensive preferential price is 140,900 yuan.

Source/new energy forward-looking readers for the picture

Informed sources told New Energy Foresight that this is a qualified customer price in Shenzhen, but the quantity is small, and the model is a silver low-profile version.

As a result, all the models in Tucki have joined the army of price reduction, and even the P5 and P7 in Tucki have dropped to less than 150,000 yuan, which overlaps with the upcoming "MONA" price.

In addition, putting pressure on dealers has also become an "open plan" for Xpeng Motors to cope with market competition. However, many insiders said that the advantage of the dealer model lies in the double benefits when the products are competitive; When the product strength is not strong, the main engine factory will also be under double pressure.

03

In the eventful "spring", Tucki bet on the brand new MONA.

Recently, influenced by the good news that Tucki G9 went to sea, Xpeng Motors rebounded in the secondary market. However, under the background of intelligentization and electrification sweeping the automobile market, Xpeng Motors was suppressed by the world, ideal and Weilai, and pursued by Xiaomi SU7, Extreme Krypton, Deep Blue and Lantu.

In the first year of the knockout, Xpeng Motors moved forward under heavy pressure.

In contrast, some weak brands of new forces gradually marginalized, and finally ended up losing the market, such as Gaohe, Aichi and Weimar. New energy foresight found in several shopping malls in Beijing that the former Gaohe exhibition hall was empty, with only a few dusty Gaohe cars.

Ren Wanfu, an auto analyst, told New Energy Foresight, "In 2024, even in the next 1-2 years, due to the efforts of traditional car-making enterprises in new energy, the current market will be squeezed. In this case, it will accelerate the withdrawal of some weak new energy brands, but in fact this is a good thing."

In Ren Wanfu’s view, only by giving some superior resources and technologies to enterprises that have really made achievements can we face international competition. Gaohe is only one of them, and there may be other marginalized new forces making cars one after another in the future.

Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the Federation, also said, "The current complicated automobile market situation will accelerate the elimination process of some weak brands with small sales volume and tight capital chain to a certain extent."

Xpeng Motors has stepped up its pace and laid out its market in various directions.

He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xpeng Motors, said in an internal letter to start construction in 2024 that "2024 is the year when the accumulation of products and technology platforms in Xpeng Motors broke out. Tucki has planned 30 cars in three years, and recruited about 4,000 people in 2024, investing more than 40% of research and development expenses. "

According to the official plan of Xpeng Motors, the first models will be launched in the 150,000 class and over 300,000 class respectively this year. The 150,000-yuan category is the brand-new brand MONA that Xpeng Motors cooperates with Didi.

On February 29th, Xpeng Motors officially announced that it had signed a technical cooperation agreement with Volkswagen for joint development of platform and software, and announced that it would jointly develop two B-class pure electric vehicles specially for China market, which will be officially launched in 2026.

This is not the first cooperation between Tucki and Volkswagen. At the end of last year, Volkswagen spent 5 billion yuan to acquire a 4.99% stake in Xpeng Motors and formally became a shareholder in Tucki.

Overseas layout is also the road to redemption for Xpeng Motors. Xpeng Motors has reached strategic cooperation with five local dealer groups in five markets in the Middle East and Africa, including UAE, Egypt and Lebanon. According to the plan, Xpeng Motors will also expand into other European markets including German, British, Italian and French markets during the year.

The leader who has been in the forefront of new power brands for many times with technical labels is now struggling below the average sales volume. In 2024, whether Xpeng Motors, with its large-scale, intelligent and international layout, can usher in a new turning point in brand development will continue to be concerned.

In the era of intelligent driving, BMW i5 has a new understanding of "integration of people and vehicles".

When the involution in the automobile market becomes the norm, the pressure on the industry benchmark is often the greatest.

It should not only constantly break through and surpass itself, but also keep an eye on all the ways to prevent the opponent next door from becoming a new leader. For example, Porsche 911 series, such as Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and for example, the brand-new BMW 5 Series that we test drive this time.

This benchmark model in the field of medium and large luxury cars has sold 10 million vehicles around the world, including more than 2 million users in China. This is enough to prove the market recognition of this car, but it also means that it faces the challenges mentioned at the beginning of the article.

Speaking of it, any product can be in an invincible position as long as it can be done in eight words-no one has me, and people have me. But these eight words are not easy to do. There are quite a number of systems and institutions in the car, which should be promoted in the direction of high perception of users within a limited cost range, or exerted in the field of low perception that affects the reliability of the car. This is a big test for a company’s philosophy of making cars.

After a day’s test drive of the brand-new BMW 5 Series, we think we can sum up the highlights of this car with eight other words-"soft" and "hard" and man-machine driving together. In addition to maintaining its consistent sense of luxury and futurity in hardware aspects such as appearance, interior and design, this car also reflects BMW’s understanding of the word "driving" in the intelligent age.

Compared with the technology car-making company that simply frees drivers’ hands, feet and even eyes, BMW doesn’t want to completely separate "people driving" from "driving by themselves", but consciously emphasizes the concepts of "man-machine co-driving", "driving in the ring" and "integration of people and vehicles", so that human drivers can feel involved even with the protection of a high-level assisted driving system.

The model of this test drive is the brand-new 5-series pure electric vehicle-BMW i5. As an electric car, it still has a distinctive BMW family design style. Take the front face design as an example. Although the pure electric vehicle no longer needs the heat dissipation function of the air intake grille, the front face design of the i5 still retains the iconic kidney shape. Not only that, a circle of lights around the kidneys is particularly eye-catching when the ambient light is dim, and the future is full.

On the side of the car body, the smooth lines of the roof start from the C-pillar and adopt the slip-back shape. In addition, i5 is marked with the C-pillar "5" light-emitting logo unique to China market on BMW’s iconic "Hoffmeister Corner", which shows the identity of the 5 Series.

Sitting in the car, the embracing interactive light belt inherited from the flagship BMW 7 Series runs through the entire front dashboard and door, cleverly integrating touch-type car control buttons and ambient light. One-piece suspended curved screen, embracing interactive light band and crystal interior components complement each other in the front row, outlining a visual experience with rich layers and colorful colors.

The driver’s seat of BMW i5 is full of sense of package, and it has enough support while having soft body feeling. Pressing the start button, although there is no pleasant roar when the engine of the fuel car starts, the visual impact of the whole cabin being lit instantly also gives enough sense of ceremony.

Like most models of this brand, the steering wheel of BMW i5 is as thick as ever, but the steering feel of this car is quite silky. In terms of power, BMW i5 eDrive35L provides the maximum output power of 210 kW and the peak torque of 410 Nm. The data is not exaggerated, but thanks to the profound adjustment skills and the power output characteristics of the motor, the response of this car is quick but not "string" at all, and the fault tolerance rate is very high.

On the highway section with good road conditions, this car has full power and stamina. Seeing the speed soaring rapidly, it will not bring the dizziness that most electric vehicles will have.

On the mountain road section, facing the continuous curve with obvious height difference, with each braking and steering, the chassis adjustment skill of BMW i5 can be demonstrated.

QDM, a newly upgraded 9th generation lateral dynamics management system, can be called chassis super brain. It monitors various dynamic parameters of the vehicle through sensors, analyzes and predicts the next dynamics of the vehicle, and then coordinates the functions of the chassis, so that each function of the chassis can cope with it calmly, so that the vehicle can avoid pushing and oversteering in corners to the maximum extent, and then ensures the stability and maneuverability of the vehicle. Thanks to this, the BMW i5 can turn into and out of the corner with elegant body posture.

The new car also adopts the integrated braking system IB 2.0, which takes only 150 milliseconds to fully brake and build pressure, and the braking distance can be shortened by about 20% compared with ordinary vehicles.

Although the industry generally believes that BMW’s handling is no longer pure, it seems to me that both the G-generation 3 Series and this BMW i5 still maintain BMW’s solid handling quality, but now BMW has added a little comfort to the vehicle to better meet the actual needs of more domestic users.

After experiencing the pure mechanical quality, let’s look at its driving assistance level. The activation of BMW i5 driver assistance system is quite simple, just press the corresponding button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate it with one button. Through the Mode button, you can choose the "intervention degree" of driving assistance, and the optional modes range from the most basic adaptive cruise to the most advanced assisted driving Pro.

Take the automatic driving assistance system Pro as an example, its biggest highlight is the function of "changing lanes of sight". When the vehicle is in the speed range of 60 km/h -180 km/h, if the local train meets the traffic conditions, a lane change suggestion prompt will appear on the dashboard. At this time, the driver will take a look at the rearview mirror, and the intelligent driving system will track the driver’s sight and head movements through the infrared camera, and the vehicle can complete the lane change immediately.

In the actual use process, we did successfully realize this function. However, it should be pointed out that domestic drivers usually aim at the rearview mirror with the corner light, so it is difficult to turn their heads close to 90. However, the "line-of-sight lane change" on BMW i5 requires drivers to turn their heads greatly before they can automatically change lanes.

We understand the original intention of the design of the system. Because in many countries, traffic regulations require drivers to turn their heads 90 degrees before changing lanes and stay for 1 second. But in reality, few people will do this, because turning around for a second is likely to ignore the road ahead. At the same time, under BMW’s concept of "driving in the ring", this is also to remind drivers that it is only the auxiliary driving stage at present, and they should always observe the road conditions and complete the driving work with the car.

From the use level, it may be better to use the "line-of-sight lane change" function if the requirements for the user’s turn range and stay time are more relaxed.

In terms of the back row experience, BMW i5 has arranged a 31-inch oversized 8K screen in the back row, which supports the 32:9 panoramic playback mode and introduces applications such as iQiyi video. It is worth mentioning that the BMW suspended giant screen is easy to collect and release, and the front and rear distance can be adjusted adaptively according to the seat position.

Lying in the comfortable seats in the back row and watching TV dramas through the big screen, Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system presents top-quality sound effects, as if it were a private mobile cinema. In addition, Huawei’s application market has been introduced into the back screen, which can satisfy users’ self-selection of applications, and at the same time, it can also realize the functions of playing games, playing videos, attending meetings and so on.

On the whole, BMW i5 has all the characteristics of a large and medium-sized luxury electric car-powerful gas field, avant-garde design, full interior technology and proper layout, solid chassis, abundant power reserve and mature driving assistance function.

However, as mentioned in the article, there is still room for improvement in details. We look forward to a more silky line-changing function in the future, and also suggest making the navigation map better-at least at complex intersections, it can automatically enlarge the scale and give more clear hints.

China Characteristics and World Significance of Chinese Modernization

  Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, the Communist Party of China, made a profound explanation of Chinese-style modernization, summed up the China characteristics of Chinese-style modernization in five aspects: a huge population, a common prosperity for all people, a coordinated modernization of material civilization and spiritual civilization, a harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and a peaceful development path, and profoundly revealed the scientific connotation of Chinese-style modernization. Chinese-style modernization is the broad road to build a socialist modernization power in an all-round way and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It provides a new theoretical paradigm for world modernization and has great theoretical value and practical significance for China and the world.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "What kind of modernization path a country chooses is determined by its historical tradition, social system, development conditions, external environment and many other factors. Different national conditions will lead to different ways of modernization. Practice has proved that a country’s modernization should not only follow the general law of modernization, but also conform to its own reality and have its own characteristics. " China’s characteristics in five aspects of Chinese modernization show universality, popularity, coordination, symbiosis and openness.

  First, the huge population reflects the extensiveness of Chinese modernization. The modernization with a huge population is a remarkable feature of Chinese modernization. As the largest developing country in the world, to realize modernization on the basis of a population of more than 1.4 billion means that more people than the total population of all developed countries will enter the ranks of modernization, which will completely rewrite the world map of modernization and fully reflect the extensiveness of China’s modernization drive. The huge population size can provide sufficient human resources and super-large-scale market for modernization. At the same time, the huge population size makes the difficulty and complexity of China’s modernization drive unprecedented, and the development approach and promotion method must have their own characteristics. To promote the modernization with a huge population, we should anchor the people’s yearning for a better life, fully tap the potential of human resources, deeply tap the potential of super-large-scale market, and provide strong human resources guarantee and domestic demand support for modernization. We should actively respond to the people’s demands and multi-level needs in employment, distribution, education, medical care, housing, old-age care and child care, and actively create an environment in which everyone participates in the development process and everyone enjoys the fruits of development, thus rallying more than 1.4 billion people to join in the modernization drive.

  Second, the common prosperity of all the people reflects the people’s nature of Chinese modernization. The modernization of the common prosperity of all the people is the essential feature of Chinese modernization, and it is also a remarkable symbol different from western modernization. Realizing the common prosperity of all the people is the common expectation of the broad masses of the people, which shows the lofty value pursuit of the new form of human civilization. The biggest drawback of western modernization is that it takes capital as the center rather than people as the center, and pursues the maximization of capital interests rather than serving the interests of the vast majority of people, which leads to a large gap between the rich and the poor and serious polarization. Chinese-style modernization adheres to the people-centered development thought, insists on the people’s dominant position, emphasizes that the people are the main body of modernization and the creators of civilization, insists on development for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are shared by the people, and resolutely prevents polarization. To promote the modernization of common prosperity for all people, we should always take the people’s yearning for a better life as the goal. We should not only make the "cake" bigger and better through the joint efforts of the whole people, but also cut and divide the "cake" through reasonable institutional arrangements, and consciously and actively solve the problems of regional disparity, urban-rural disparity and income distribution gap, so that the achievements of modernization can benefit all people more fairly.

  Third, the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization embodies the coordination of Chinese modernization. It is the lofty pursuit of Chinese modernization to be rich in material and spiritual resources. Chinese-style modernization is deeply rooted in Chinese excellent traditional culture, insisting on both material civilization and spiritual civilization, which provides solid support for creating two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and also expands a new realm of civilization development in the ideological basis of unity and struggle, pioneering initiative and healthy and upward value pursuit of all people. To promote the coordinated modernization of material civilization and spiritual civilization, it is necessary to integrate the all-round enrichment of materials and the all-round development of people into the practice of modernization, better meet the people’s growing spiritual and cultural needs, build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leading power, develop advanced socialist culture, promote the formation of ideas, spiritual outlook, civilized fashion and behavioral norms that meet the requirements of the new era, continuously enrich the people’s spiritual world, improve the level of civilization of the whole society, promote the all-round development of people and enhance the influence of Chinese culture.

  Fourthly, man and nature coexist harmoniously, which embodies the symbiosis of Chinese modernization. Respecting nature, conforming to nature, protecting nature and promoting harmonious coexistence between man and nature are the distinctive features of Chinese modernization. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has adhered to the road of ecological priority and green development, incorporated "Beautiful China" into the goal of becoming a socialist modernization power, integrated "ecological civilization construction" into the overall layout of "Five in One", and integrated "harmonious coexistence between man and nature" into the basic strategy of adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, creating an ecological miracle and a green development miracle that has attracted worldwide attention, and embarked on a civilized development path of production development, affluent life and good ecology. To promote the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, we should firmly establish and practice Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept, adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, promote ecological priority, conservation and intensive, green and low-carbon development, accelerate the green transformation of development mode, enhance the diversity, stability and sustainability of ecosystems, actively and steadily promote carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions, and support high-quality development with high-quality ecological environment.

  Fifth, taking the road of peaceful development reflects the openness of Chinese modernization. Adhering to peaceful development is a prominent feature of Chinese modernization. Our Party has always stood firmly on the right side of history and the progress of human civilization, unified the development of China with the development of the world with a broad vision of the world, and embarked on a modern road to achieve common development and peaceful development through win-win cooperation. Seek self-development while firmly safeguarding world peace and development, and use self-development to better safeguard world peace and development, and contribute China wisdom, China plan and China strength to meet the common challenges faced by all mankind. To promote modernization along the road of peaceful development, we should always hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, pursue an open strategy of mutual benefit and win-win, promote the common values of all mankind, promote the building of a community of human destiny, realize national development by stimulating endogenous power and utilizing external resources, and constantly provide new opportunities for the world with China’s new development.

  Our Party United and led the people of China to successfully embark on the road of Chinese modernization through long-term unremitting struggle, and achieved remarkable development achievements. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has continued to advance on the existing basis, constantly achieved innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice, and successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization. It not only provides new opportunities and new impetus for world development, but also makes new contributions to the theoretical and practical innovation of human social modernization.

  From the fundamental characteristics, Chinese modernization is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC). From the construction content, Chinese modernization adheres to the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization, the sustainable development of economy and society, and the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, which embodies the overall layout of "five in one" and the strategic layout of "four comprehensive". From the realization path, Chinese-style modernization conforms to the development trend of today’s world, takes the new development concept as the guide, takes the synchronous development of the "four modernizations" as the promotion path, takes the construction of a new development pattern as the strategic arrangement, and pays attention to not only deeply tapping the potential of the domestic market, but also deeply participating in the international division of labor, which has distinct epochal and openness. From the perspective of value pursuit, Chinese modernization adheres to the people-centered development thought, and takes the realization of common prosperity of all people as an important content of the essential requirement, which benefits not only the people of China, but also the people of all countries in the world. From the perspective of international relations, Chinese modernization adheres to the concept of building a community of human destiny, and adheres to independence, peaceful development, and win-win cooperation. Chinese-style modernization theory is an important innovation in the modernization of Marxism in China. It is a great theoretical innovation of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the latest great achievement of scientific socialism to put forward and elaborate the Chinese modernization theory in general.

  The development process of human society is tortuous, and the course of exploring the road of modernization in various countries is full of hardships. Chinese-style modernization not only follows the general law of modernization, but also conforms to China’s reality and has its own characteristics. Based on its own national conditions and drawing lessons from the experience of other countries; Inheriting history and culture and integrating modern civilization; It not only benefits the people of China, but also promotes the common development of the world; It is not only the broad road for our country’s construction and national rejuvenation, but also the only way for China to seek human progress and world harmony. Chinese-style modernization has opened up a new road to modernization and created a new form of human civilization. With its successful practice and theoretical innovation based on practice, it has provided new choices for countries and nations in the world who want to speed up their development and maintain their independence, and provided beneficial enlightenment and experience for the vast number of developing countries to explore their own unique modernization roads based on their own national conditions.

An occasional note on the return of young people from a small city with five lines.

The picture comes from: vision china

My home is located in a small five-line city in the south of the Yangtze River — — In Y city, except for my long-term wandering outside, my parents and two younger brothers all work and live in Y city. Therefore, the Internet impression of Y city is mainly based on the summary of the social relations at home.

Let’s briefly introduce the basic situation of Y city. It is one of the smallest prefecture-level cities in this province, with a population of more than one million, which is a relatively small prefecture-level city. The resident population of the municipal area is estimated to be around 300,000. Because the area and population are relatively small, the total GDP is not large. In 2016, the GDP was less than 70 billion yuan, ranking in the bottom of the province, but the per capita GDP has exceeded 60,000 yuan, ranking in the top three, even slightly higher than that of Chongqing in the same year. The main pillar industries of Y city are non-ferrous metals, tourism and logistics. In addition, e-commerce and Internet of Things are also one of the emerging industries that the government is supporting.

There is no airport in Y city, and the most convenient way of transportation from Beijing to Y city is by train. There’s only one high-speed train journey for 8.5 hours, which is very hard for people with lumbar muscle strain, so I prefer the express train with sleeper. This express arrived in Y city at 4 o’clock in the morning. My parents were always worried when I went home a few years ago. The bus hasn’t run yet, many taxis in the railway station kill passengers or refuse to carry them, and there are unsafe factors in black cars. But now they are no longer worried, because with Didi, I just need to call a taxi when I leave the station, and usually an express train arrives in a minute or two, which is very convenient and safe.

The arrival of Didi has made many black cars quietly turn positive, and the service efficiency and service attitude have improved a lot, greatly facilitating the lives of citizens. City Y is a small city, and the public transportation adopts the one-vote system in 2 yuan. However, a trip by car on the Internet is usually within 10 yuan, and it costs quite as much for three or four people to travel and take public transportation, so it is cost-effective. Surprisingly, the price of taxis during the Spring Festival is basically the same as usual. It is probably related to the fact that most drivers are locals. There are not many drivers who stopped during the Spring Festival, and the supply and demand are relatively balanced.

However, the rise of the online car has caused people who invest in taxis to lose a lot of books. My friend, Lao Chen, came home from other places more than two years ago to develop. He felt that it didn’t matter if he was doing other business, and he had no resources. So he even spent nearly 400,000 yuan on a license plate and a new car to buy an individual taxi (taxis in Y city are mostly individuals), which depreciated to 178,000 yuan in more than a year. Years ago, when friends got together and talked about it, he was heartbroken and regretted buying it a year earlier. Instead, he might as well run directly afterwards.

Online car rental is just an example of the Internet changing Y city, and bike-sharing is the representative of the update. Although bike-sharing has become a cancer of wasting public resources in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it seems that the overall social welfare has been improved in Y city because the number of each household is relatively rational.

Hello Bicycle officially landed in September 2017, but the actual operation may be earlier than the first half of the year. It should be the first brand to enter Y City, and the current volume is also the largest. Ofo entered a little later, and the amount of input was only one-third of Harrow’s, but it grew rapidly. It seems that mobike has just entered this small five-lane city, and the current number is not even as much as that of government public bicycles, which may be due to the fact that the vehicles arranged for delivery have not yet been put in place. Judging from the current situation, Alipay, as the common traffic portal of Harrow and ofo, may be the biggest winner behind it.

Because it is convenient to get it back and the rent is cheap, bike-sharing without piles quickly replaced the government public bicycles to win the market. Because of the small city area, many people’s commuting distance is only three or four kilometers. bike-sharing in Y City is not the last-mile bus connection scheme like a big city, but a solution for urban travel and a useful supplement to the public transport system. With the rapid development of urbanization, the lag of public transport system inevitably leads to blind spots in coverage, so bike-sharing has become a means of transportation for many people to go to school or work. The destructive behavior that has been criticized repeatedly in first-tier cities seems to be very rare in this small city at present. At least I have not encountered a faulty car in the course of several experiences. I hope that Harrow, ofo and mobike will not bring vicious competition behaviors such as over-delivery from the first-tier cities to the small five-tier places below.

In terms of mobile network, regardless of signal coverage or speed, Y city is not inferior to first-tier cities such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen. As a user of China Unicom for many years, I still want to spit it out again. Although the overall signal coverage and intensity are slightly better than that of Imperial Capital, it is still far worse than that of mobile and telecommunications. Usually, my mobile phone signal stays at 3 frames. Fortunately, restaurants, shopping malls, hotels and other commercial places will basically provide free wireless WIFI. At present, there is no free urban public wireless WIFI, which makes this city, which has claimed to be the main Internet of Things new economy in recent years, somewhat embarrassed.

When it comes to the Internet, we can’t avoid talking about mobile phones. After all, this is a mobile Internet era based on smart phones. What is the popularity of smart phones? In the words of my niece in primary school, it seems that there is no one in the class who doesn’t have a mobile phone. Contrary to our impression that students use QQ more, she said that everyone basically uses WeChat. Dadi is a teacher in a middle school in Y city, but his students prefer to contact him by QQ. It is likely that primary school students are greatly influenced by their parents to use WeChat, but when they grow up in middle school, rebellious psychology plays a role in choosing QQ.

 The situation of family members using mobile phone brands is as follows: My father didn’t have a mobile phone because of hearing, but he only had a positioning watch, and my mother used Huawei Glory. My eldest brother treated himself to an iPhone X for the New Year and gave the original iPhone 6 to his daughter. His wife used OPPO, and my younger brother’s mobile phone was Nubia.

This family sample is representative in Y city, but it is obviously not accurate and comprehensive enough. So I asked my two younger brothers to describe the impression of the mobile phone brand of acquaintances around me. Their perceptions are different. Dadi thinks that people around them use Huawei the most, followed by OPPO, then Apple and VIVO, and then Xiaomi. The younger brother feels that the number of VIVO mobile phones is the largest, followed by Apple mobile phones, and its possession is close to 30%, followed by OPPO, Huawei and Xiaomi. Moreover, Apple users mostly use series 6 and 7 models, and the new models 8 and X introduced last year are relatively rare, and the proportion of women is significantly higher than that of men. It is worth noting that Samsung, Nokia, Motorcycle, Lenovo, ZTE, Meizu and other famous brands have almost disappeared from people’s memory.

When I changed my mother’s smartphone three or four years ago, she expressed strong opposition at that time. The reason is that the function of the full touch-screen mobile phone is too complicated to use, or the function machine is convenient to answer and make calls, and the volume is loud enough to hear clearly after charging for several days. But now she can’t live without her smartphone.

Wechat is mother’s most important mobile phone application and a tool for her to contact colleagues, relatives and friends. Because of my father’s work in his early years, my family left my hometown, and most of my relatives were not in Y city, and WeChat has replaced phone calls as the main way to pay New Year greetings during the Spring Festival. Old people even began to teach their peers in their hometown how to chat through WeChat video, such as my aunt and aunt.

In addition to WeChat, she also installed jelly beans and national K songs in her mobile phone, which are all danced by the old people in square dance every day. The leading aunt and mother call her the head of the group, but they actually lead the dance, teach them some new dances and help them download related applications. In addition to the square dance, the old people also like singing and entertainment very much, so the national karaoke and candied beans have become complementary products. My mother can’t sing, but she appreciates the works of old friends very much. She puts a few paragraphs from time to time in her spare time, and likes them one by one and even shares them with friends and WeChat groups.

Generally, mothers and old friends dance square dance in the basketball court in the community, and occasionally go for a walk in the stadium more than one kilometer away from home. Because there are so many people there, young people hold tripods and broadcast live on their mobile phones from time to time, and dancing and singing are particularly lively. The most famous live broadcast is a disabled art troupe, which often broadcasts live broadcasts in different places such as commercial centers, scenic spots and parks in Y city. The stadium is a very important position for them, and the live broadcast often attracts hundreds of people to watch. On the one hand, they live broadcast through the platform to get economic income from rewards, on the other hand, they also become ground promoters in Aauto Quicker to help Aauto Quicker expand its market. It is said that the head of the team is a farmer in a county-level city under Y city. Unfortunately, he was disabled by polio when he was a child. His fans in Aauto Quicker have reached 2 million, which is probably the largest online celebrity in Y city. The Art Troupe is like a small MCN, with no less than 20 disabled actors from all over the country. The number of fans of these actors in Aauto Quicker is between 100,000 and 300,000, and they should have gained the ability to realize the flow.

However, in the eyes of the two younger brothers, the proportion of people around them who play Tik Tok recently seems to be higher than that of Aauto Quicker. Today’s headlines and friends circle are two channels that have more contact with short videos of vibrato. In addition to short videos, today’s headlines are also the way they get information every day. In addition, common information apps include Tencent News, UC browser, Sohu News and other applications. Apps that people use more also include: video animation, Tencent video, Youku, and runaway comics; Games, pesticides, chess and cards, eating chicken (it is said that most people in Internet cafes in Y city play with eating chicken now), traveling frogs; Music, QQ music, Netease cloud music.

When it comes to Chinese New Year, it is inevitable to mention the routine Chinese New Year Red Packet War. My brother and sister-in-law both participated in this year’s Alipay Five Blessingg and the headline zodiac. Their red envelopes are not big, and Five Blessingg is only a little more than one yuan. The reason for participating is that everyone around them is playing with the crowd.

My brother and sister-in-law basically go out without cash, and WeChat and Alipay have become the main means of payment for daily consumption. It’s no wonder that even the vendors in the open-air vegetable market and night market are hanging two-dimensional collections. Is it still necessary to take their wallets out? This influence was even passed on to her mother. In the past, she always cashed out the red envelopes or transfers received by WeChat to the bank card. Now she has learned to go to supermarkets and vegetable markets to spend the change in WeChat directly. Due to the high frequency of WeChat, WeChat payment has become the mainstream mobile payment method in Y city. In contrast, my eldest brother may be regarded as a user who uses Alipay more. The ratio of WeChat payment to Alipay is about 6: 4. He also admitted that the proportion of his WeChat payment is still gradually increasing.

Except for bike-sharing, Alipay can overwhelm the application scenarios of WeChat payment in Y city, and living payment is one of the few. Alipay cooperated with public service departments such as water, electricity and gas earlier, and many people in Y city paid online through Alipay. WeChat’s follow-up was a little slow, and some services were not opened before, which made Alipay seize the opportunity. However, with the full access of public service interfaces such as water, electricity and gas, WeChat will have more advantages in the future.

The Spring Festival movie market is extremely hot, and it is hard to find a ticket, which is really unexpected. The fares are basically around 44 yuan, which is more than ten yuan higher than usual, even higher than the price of the Imperial Capital in the same period. It is difficult to buy movie tickets on that day except for those after 10: 30 pm. Almost all the ways to buy movie tickets online choose WeChat or Meituan. In fact, because of the platform subsidy in Taobao Film of Alipay, the ticket price of Y City during the Spring Festival is three or four yuan cheaper than that of WeChat and Meituan. It seems that the smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alley, and it is much cheaper to drink.

Alipay also has a consumer scene that overwhelms WeChat payment: online shopping. Taobao is an e-commerce APP widely used by people in Y city, but the proportion in JD.COM is much lower. Most people only think of it when they buy digital 3C products. Surprisingly, Pinduoduo also appeared in my mother’s mobile phone. She said that many aunts and big sisters around her were using it, and occasionally she would follow them to buy something cheap and practical. It seems that Pinduoduo does pose a threat to the traffic of Taobao and JD.COM, but it has yet to convince mainstream users. The two younger brothers hardly use Pinduoduo, mainly because they think things are not very reliable. My sister-in-law occasionally uses it, but it is limited to buying some fruits together.

The low proportion of JD.COM shows the fact that the share is backward, but it also means the growth potential. In fact, JD.COM has its own unique advantages: fast delivery and good service. Taobao Tmall online shopping, sellers outside the province usually take three days to deliver, while JD.COM can even reach the next day as long as one or two days. JD.COM is the only e-commerce platform that can deliver goods to your door in Y city, and its attitude is very friendly. Of course, it is a self-operated business, and my mother likes their services very much. Because the service quality and attitude of the couriers with four links and one service are generally poor, sometimes they are asked to help send them to the residential building for themselves or even very unhappy. As the saying goes, bad money drives out good money, and even SF has begun to learn the set of four links and one achievement in Y city. Not only is it not willing to send a piece or even pick it up, but it requires users to go downstairs. Domestic express delivery companies have successfully listed, but the service quality has not improved. Bosses including Wang Wei should think more.

In contrast, the service attitude of take-away delivery staff is much better than that of four-way and one-way couriers. The take-out market in Y city is basically the same as that in first-and second-tier cities. Earlier, Meituan, Hungry and Baidu take-out all spread channels through agents. After Baidu takeaway was merged into Hungry, the original customers flowed to Meituan and Hungry. The low threshold of 20 yuan delivery and 4 yuan freight per order makes the take-away market quite popular. Coupled with the regional concentration of small cities, there are fewer traffic jams, and the time limit for ordering meals is better than that of big cities. Both younger brothers prefer to use Meituan, because it is very convenient to place an order by calling a small program in WeChat. However, the younger siblings prefer to be hungry, because it has more coupons, forming a circular repurchase.

Platform, in order to avoid advertising suspicion, don’t say the name. Brother Da chose an Internet financial platform with the background of an insurance company and the financial products of a state-owned bank, with a slightly lower interest rate but a higher risk factor. Previously, Dadi had invested in the stock market, and his confidence was greatly reduced after the stock market crash, and the funds may have flowed to the insurance wealth management platform; The younger brother tried fund investment, and the return on income was unknown.

Last year, Shanxinhui and Qian Bao collapsed successively, and a large number of investors suffered serious losses, and some people in Y city also affected them. In March and April last year, my mother’s colleagues invested in Kindhearted Exchange, and she was moved to see that her colleagues began to make profits in a short time. Fortunately, I was consulted first for worrying about risks, but doing charity has a super high rate of return, which is not in line with business logic at all, and my mother was discouraged by me. Soon after, the news broke, and her colleagues lost thousands to 30 thousand yuan, which in turn envied their mother’s luck.

The other two friends who invested in Qian Bao were not so lucky. Xiao Jiang, who is engaged in the sales and maintenance business of digital 3C, has been in Qian Bao for nearly two years. His early investment has already recovered the cost, but he always feels that it is too difficult to make money in business and it is not as fast as this one, so he ventured to continue investing more than 100,000 yuan. Last November, Xiao Jiang and I talked about this matter, and I advised him to stop as soon as possible because Qian Bao could collapse at any time. He felt that Zhang Xiaobao was capable and should be able to support it for a while, and planned to earn some more money in April this year, and the result was hehe. Another friend, Xiao Li, also invested more than 80,000 yuan behind his family’s back, and he still lamented when he visited my home during the Spring Festival. Compared with the people who invest in Kindhearted Exchange, the players in Qian Bao seem to be more adventurous. These two friends are young and knowledgeable, knowing that this is a Ponzi scheme, but they are still brave enough to break in.

If there is a lack of Internet products, fresh O2O and Internet recruitment should be counted as one. In the Imperial City, I am used to using JD.COM to get home and buying food from the nearest Yonghui Supermarket. The price is fair and the quality is good, but it is a pity that Y City has not been opened yet. My younger brother just left his job at the end of the year and is going to look for a new job in the talent market after the Spring Festival. I asked him why he didn’t apply for a job online. He said that it may be that local enterprises have a low degree of internetization, and there is little information on the development of professional recruitment websites. However, many high-paying recruitment information on websites such as 58 Tongcheng is actually advertisements, but the information in the offline talent market is not comprehensive and accurate.

When my younger brother planned to go to the talent market in a few days, my friend Xiao Cheng got on the train to Guangdong on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. He is high flyers from Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, majoring in product design. Originally, he wanted to stay in City Y with his family, but there were so few related positions in the local area, so he had to go south alone again to earn money for his newborn baby.

On the whole, if you arrive in Y city from first-and second-tier cities, there will be basically not many unaccustomed places in your daily life. Going out is to take a taxi or scan the code to ride a bike. When you go to the meal, you can use the US group to order a takeaway if you are hungry. Shopping, entertainment and consumption are also barrier-free. Not counting luxury goods, some brands in first-and second-tier cities can be found in almost Y city. For example, Y city is like Yanqing and Huairou, the suburbs of Beijing. Compared with first-and second-tier cities, its Internet foundation in all aspects actually looks pretty good, except that it lacks some space and opportunities for young people to develop, which makes it look less energetic.(This article is the first titanium media)

Reporter investigation: It is difficult to return to taxi hailing in various places. What should be done to reflect on the new policy of online car hailing?

   CCTV News(Reporter, Wang Jiazu, Li Wenliang, Wang Xiaoying, Gao Yuting, Intern, Qi Chenji) "It has always been suggested that there are no cars nearby." This is a common feeling among many citizens who choose to ride online recently. Even during off-peak hours, it is not easy to take a taxi, and "the time to call a car has become longer" is becoming the norm in many cities.

  Data from Didi Chuxing shows that the difficulty of hailing a taxi in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has increased to varying degrees. In June this year, the difficulty of morning and evening peak taxi hailing in four places increased by 12.4%, 17.7%, 13.2% and 22.5% respectively compared with the same period last year. In Beijing, after the implementation of the new policy of online car-hailing, the passenger order of online car-hailing platforms fell by about 10%.

  A year after the implementation of the new policy on online car-hailing, there are various signs that the previously surprising golden period of online car-hailing development is rapidly coming to an end. In some cities, online car-hailing is difficult to get, and drivers must increase their fares to accept orders. And the behavior of traditional taxis such as refusal and bargaining has not been significantly improved by the legalization of online car-hailing.

  What’s wrong with the online car-hailing market, and how should it be managed? Can returning to "taxi-hailing difficulty" make relevant departments reflect on the new policy?

  Online taxi: "There are no cars available nearby"

  On July 27, 2016, the Ministry of Transport and seven ministries jointly promulgated the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"). China became the first country in the world to recognize the legal status of online car-hailing nationwide. Subsequently, detailed implementation rules have been issued in various parts of China. According to media statistics, 133 cities have announced new policies on online car-hailing.

  Recently, CCTV reporters visited the online car-hailing market in many cities in China and found that the number of online car-hailing has decreased significantly since the implementation of the New Deal for more than a year, making it difficult to take a taxi.

  From August 19th to 22nd, the reporter tried to play Didi Express at different times and locations in Beijing for three consecutive days. Only around 10 am on the 19th, a driver took the order at Chaoyangmen Subway Station in Chaoyang District and came within two minutes. The rest of the time, such as the morning peak on the 21st, at Landianchang South Road, Haidian District, the order with Didi Express has always been displayed as "no car available nearby"; at 7 pm on the 22nd, at the south of Hangkong Bridge, Didi Express also displayed "no car available nearby".

  At the same time in Jinan, Shandong Province, the reporter used Didi to take a taxi many times with only one success. At 7:30 am on the 22nd, Yanzi West Road, with Didi to call an order, no one took the order twice in a row, showing "no car available nearby". At around 8 o’clock, there was still no one taking the order at the intersection of Ping and Shandong University, which also showed "no car available nearby". In addition, the reporter also found in real time in many other areas that the mobile phone client side showed that the express train "There are fewer vehicles nearby and the waiting time is long". Only at 3 pm on the 22nd, the reporter used Didi to call a taxi near Qianfoshan Hospital in Shandong Province.

  At around 3:00 pm on August 24, the reporter used Didi Taxi to book a taxi in Anning District, Lanzhou, Gansu Province, and tried three times without anyone taking the order. Then he used Didi Express four times, each time at an interval of 5 minutes, and still no one answered. Most of the time, the map showed that there were no vehicles nearby.

  That day in Yinchuan City, Ningxia, the reporter sent out orders during off-peak hours. The mobile phone software showed that the vehicle would arrive within 1 to 4 minutes, making it easier to take a taxi. However, in places slightly away from the city, such as Beita Lake, Huabo Park, and Shenyang Road, no one answered the order after 1 minute.

  Why is it not easy to play online car-hailing? The subsidy is less, and the threshold is higher.

  Compared with the "golden period" two years ago, online car-hailing is obviously not so easy to get. What is the reason?

  Mr. Zong, 33, lives in the high-tech zone of Jinan City. He is a part-time driver of Didi Express and has been driving fast for more than a year. At first, he took the car to join the express team because his friend had a good income from driving fast. He said that at that time, because of various subsidies, his income was very good. At one point, he wanted to quit his job to drive fast. The most impressive order was to pull passengers to catch the train during peak hours, and the customer gave 2.5 times the reward.

  But this year, the "money scene" has begun to dim. He is glad that he did not quit his job. Many of his friends who drove fast cars in the past have already found other jobs. Mr. Zong believes that the main reason for the current lack of online car-hailing is that subsidies are less, and driving cannot earn money.

  "Sometimes I work until the early morning at night, and sometimes I can earn about 100 yuan for running on weekends. If I make this money, if I get a violation of regulations or something, I won’t be able to scratch it." Mr. Zong said that in the future, it will depend on how the implementation rules of Jinan are determined. According to the requirements in the exposure draft, his own private car will definitely not meet the conditions, and the cost will definitely increase greatly if it is converted to a operating vehicle. If it is not cost-effective, it will not be opened.

  Mr. Li of Yinchuan, Ningxia, has been running an express car for three years with his own 50,000 yuan private car. He chose to change careers this year because "there is no subsidy and he can’t make money." Mr. Li told reporters that many people buy cars worth tens of thousands of yuan to run Didi Express. According to the rules, the peers he knows are not up to standard.

  A staff member of an online car-hailing agency in Yinchuan City told reporters that the current Didi platform has begun to block the express numbers of substandard vehicles one after another. Among the drivers of Didi Express in Yinchuan, 80% of the cars or drivers do not meet the online car-hailing standards.

  The decrease in the number of online car-hailing, on the one hand, makes consumers feel that the car is not easy to play, but also makes other express drivers who choose to stay feel better. In Beijing, Yu Sijia, who was born in 1989, has been driving online car-hailing for a year and a half. At the end of last year, he successfully obtained the online car-hailing driver qualification certificate with a high score of 90 points. He told reporters that even if he has a good order income on weekdays, he still likes to take orders at night, because there are fewer owners who come out to take orders than in the past.

  Mr. Yang of Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, who bought an Audi A4 sports car, said that compared with the past, there are significantly fewer people in sports cars, and the work is easier than before, because the threshold has been raised. "You drive a car with tens of thousands of dollars to run a special car. To be honest, it is not fair to us. Fortunately, many people quit after the details came out."

  Expert consultation: The threshold should be kept as low as possible

  Is it right to strictly control online car-hailing through high thresholds? Is there any indisputable place in the new policy of online car-hailing?

  According to data from the Ministry of Communications, there are currently more than 130 online car-hailing platform companies planning to carry out online car-hailing business, and 19 online car-hailing platform companies have obtained business licenses in relevant cities, but only 100,000 online car-hailing driver licenses have been issued in various places. On the demand side, as of December last year, the number of online taxi booking users reached 225 million. A mere 100,000 licensed online car-hailing drivers are facing the demand of more than 200 million people. Even with taxis, the contradiction between supply and demand in the market is also very sharp.

  "The regulations of’Beijing Renjing License ‘and’Shanghai Renren Shanghai License’ have caused a large number of original online car-hailing drivers to be unable to continue on the road, resulting in a serious imbalance between supply and demand," Ye Qing, a professor at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, told CCTV. Professor Ye Qing has written to the National Two Sessions for eight consecutive years to demand "bus reform" and is known as the first person in China’s bus reform. He said: "The management department has relatively high requirements for online car-hailing, but I think there is a way to solve this problem, that is, what is the standard of taxis in the city? The standard of online car-hailing is based on this standard, which is not lower than or parallel to the taxi standard, because a city’s taxis should pay attention to both economy and safety."

  Ye Qing said that too harsh conditions are suspected of being unfair. As long as the driver of the online car-hailing car has no illegal record and meets the driving age and other conditions, he can drive the online car-hailing car after passing the test. "To improve the online car-hailing system, especially when formulating regulations at the local level, the threshold should be lowered as much as possible."

  Cheng Huiqiang, a researcher at the Development Research Center of the State Council, also said in an interview with the media that the government should conduct big data analytics and urban transportation capacity assessments while strengthening supervision, so that the transportation capacity can be matched with the city’s transportation operation to meet the public’s travel needs.

  Xu Kangming, the Ministry of Transport’s chief expert on deepening taxi reform, told the media that if the city’s transportation capacity can be fully tapped, the problem of taxi-hailing difficulties can be solved. He believes that the transportation capacity of cruise taxis and compliant online car-hailing has not been fully released. It is necessary to let the full potential of legal compliance be realized, and at the same time, it is necessary to allow some time for vehicles and personnel that meet the new regulations to enter the market.

Another wave of Shenzhen traffic news is coming, so you should pay attention to these when traveling …

The most beautiful sea route in Shenzhen resumed operation,

Four direct flights were opened at the end of the month.

Sakaguchi Yintong will be completed by the end of the year.

The intersection of Beihuan Avenue and Shangbu Interchange was closed for 135 days.

The reporter learned from the Shenzhen Municipal Communications Commission that from now on, the intersection of the main road of Beihuan Avenue and Shangbu Interchange will be closed until January 9 next year to make way for the accelerated construction of the Banyin Passage. The Shenzhen Municipal Communications Commission announced on October 15th that the Banyin Channel Project is expected to be completed by the end of next year according to the current progress of the project.

General plan renderings of Banyin Channel

It is understood that the Banyin Passage Project starts from the north side of Huangmugang Interchange in the south and is arranged along the west side of Beihuan Avenue via Nigang Interchange in the north. After crossing Beihuan Avenue, it crosses Jinhu Reservoir by sinking the tunnel, continues to cross Yinhu Road into Jigongshan, crosses xiamen-shenzhen railway Meilin Tunnel, crosses Nanping Expressway after leaving the tunnel, connects Banxuegang Avenue to the north, and finally reaches the intersection of Huancheng South Road. The main line is 10.7 kilometers long. A new Jigongshan tunnel (with a total length of 8,856 meters on the left and right lines) and an interchange at the North Ring Road will be built, and two interchanges at Nigang North Ring Road and Nanping Banxuegang will be rebuilt.

Present situation of the intersection of Beihuan Avenue and Shangbu Interchange

In order to smoothly promote the construction of Banyin Passage, from now on, the five lanes of the main road in Yinhu section of Beihuan Avenue (eastbound) will be adjusted to three lanes, and the one-lane auxiliary road will be adjusted to two lanes. The three eastbound main lanes can only go to Nigang East Road (Buji direction), and the original main lane of North Ring Road will be closed to Shangbu Road and Nigang West Road (Huafu Road). The closing time is expected to be January 9 next year. Vehicles passing through this section can turn at Huanggang Interchange to the auxiliary road of Beijiashan Waterworks (eastbound), and take the right auxiliary road at Yinhu exit of Beihuan Avenue (eastbound) or other surrounding roads.

Regarding the progress of the construction of the Banyin Channel, which the public is most concerned about, the Shenzhen Municipal Communications Commission revealed that as of October 15, there were 59 cast-in-place box girders in the superstructure of the Banyin Channel Bridge, 32 of which have been completed, and 54.2% have been completed; There are 18 steel box girders, 6 of which have been completed, accounting for 33.3%.

"According to the current progress of the project, the Banyin Channel project is expected to be completed by the end of next year." (Shenzhen News Network reporter Tu Sheng)

Work is not blocked!

Pavement repair and traffic improvement works of Binhe Avenue have been completed.

On October 15th, the Municipal Communications Commission released a message saying that recently, the main road surface of Binhe Avenue pavement repair and traffic improvement project was completed and opened to traffic. At present, the construction of auxiliary roads and sidewalks is stepping up. The Municipal Transportation Facilities Bureau made full use of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, increased the input of resources, overcame the impact of the strong typhoon on the construction, and organized the contractors to concentrate on completing the asphalt paving of the main roads on the north and south sides. Considering the huge traffic flow on Binhe Avenue, the asphalt paving operation time is night construction (from 22: 00 to 6: 00 the next day).

It is reported that the total length of Binhe Avenue is about 9.975 kilometers, from Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway Interchange to Baoan South Road, which is an important east-west expressway in Shenzhen. Affected by the construction of Chunfeng Tunnel, the actual improved section is the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway Interchange Shangbu Interchange, with a length of about 8.6 kilometers.

The construction contents of Binhe Avenue pavement repair and traffic improvement project mainly include: replacing the central collision wall of the road, transforming the mud concrete pavement into asphalt concrete pavement, so as to achieve the effects of environmental protection, noise reduction and improving driving comfort, and upgrading the road slow-moving system, including improving the facilities such as sidewalks and bicycle lanes. At present, the construction is progressing smoothly, and the auxiliary roads and sidewalks are being stepped up. (Shenzhen Evening News reporter Dong Yuhan)

"The hero is sad at Meilin Pass" will become history! Good news came from the second phase of Metro Line 6

There is a popular saying in Shenzhen: "Heroes feel sad about Meilin Pass", but this sentence may become history in 2020. There is good news from the second phase of Line 6, and you can understand it by looking at the picture.

The second phase of Metro Line 6 has a total length of about 11.8 kilometers, including 7 stations and 7 sections, and 4 transfer stations. The line leads from the reserved viaduct project of Shenzhen North Station, passes through Longhua, Futian and Luohu districts, and finally ends at Science Museum Station. According to the plan, the second phase and the first phase of Shenzhen Metro Line 6 are scheduled to be completed and opened to traffic simultaneously in 2020.

The double-line tunnel in Hanyin section (Hanling Station-Yinhu Station) of the second phase project of Metro Line 6 runs smoothly. It became the first double-line running-through section of the whole line, laying a solid foundation for the smooth completion of subsequent construction nodes.

The left and right lines of Hanyin tunnel, which runs through the double lines, are 3666 meters long. It is a horseshoe-shaped cross-section tunnel, which is constructed by mining method, and is the longest underground tunnel section in the whole line.

The project broke ground in July 2016 and was completed on October 12, 2018.

The next step will be to speed up the construction of the second lining, so as to strengthen the support, optimize the waterproof and drainage system of the route, beautify the appearance and facilitate the installation of facilities such as communication, lighting and monitoring. It is planned to complete the construction of the main structure project in January 2019, providing conditions for the subsequent track laying and station decoration. Finally, I will inform you.

Hawking’s speech in Beijing: Artificial intelligence may also be the terminator of human civilization.

  On April 27th, the famous physicist stephen hawking gave a video speech at the Global Mobile Internet Conference held in Beijing. In his speech, Hawking reiterated that the rise of artificial intelligence is either the best thing or the worst thing for human beings. He believes that human beings need to be alert to the threat of artificial intelligence development. Because once the artificial intelligence breaks away from the bondage and redesigns itself in an accelerating state, human beings will not be able to compete with it because of the limitation of long biological evolution, thus being replaced.

  The following is Hawking’s speech:

  In my life, I have witnessed profound changes in society. One of the most profound changes, which has an increasing influence on human beings, is the rise of artificial intelligence. To put it simply, I think the rise of powerful artificial intelligence is either the best thing or the worst thing in human history. I have to say, whether it is good or bad is still uncertain. But we should do our best to ensure that its future development is beneficial to us and our environment. We have no choice. I think the development of artificial intelligence itself is a trend with problems, and these problems must be solved now and in the future.

  The research and development of artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly. Maybe all of us should pause for a moment and shift our research duplication from improving the ability of artificial intelligence to maximizing the social benefits of artificial intelligence. Based on this consideration, american association for artificial intelligence (AAAI) set up a forum on the long-term future of artificial intelligence in 2008-2009, and they have recently invested a lot of attention in the purpose-oriented neutral technology. But our artificial intelligence system needs to work according to our will. Interdisciplinary research is a possible way forward: it extends from economics, law and philosophy to computer security, formal methods and, of course, various branches of artificial intelligence itself.

  Everything produced by civilization is the product of human intelligence. I believe that there is no essential difference between what the biological brain can achieve and what the computer can achieve. Therefore, it follows the principle that computers can imitate human intelligence in theory and then surpass it. But we are not sure, so we can’t know whether we will be helped by artificial intelligence indefinitely, despised and marginalized, or probably destroyed by it. Indeed, we are worried that smart machines will be able to replace the jobs that human beings are doing and quickly eliminate millions of jobs.

  While artificial intelligence has been developing from primitive form and proved to be very useful, I am also worried about the result of creating something that can equal or surpass human beings: once artificial intelligence is out of bondage, it will redesign itself in an accelerating state. Limited by the long biological evolution, human beings cannot compete with it and will be replaced. This will bring great damage to our economy. In the future, artificial intelligence can develop from my will, a will that conflicts with us. Although I have always been optimistic about human beings, others believe that human beings can control the development of technology for a long time, so that we can see the potential of artificial intelligence to solve most problems in the world. But I’m not sure.

  While artificial intelligence has been developing from primitive form and proved to be very useful, I am also worried about the result of creating something that can equal or surpass human beings: once artificial intelligence is out of bondage, it will redesign itself in an accelerating state. Limited by the long biological evolution, human beings cannot compete with it and will be replaced. This will bring great damage to our economy. In the future, artificial intelligence can develop from my will, a will that conflicts with us. Although I have always been optimistic about human beings, others believe that human beings can control the development of technology for a long time, so that we can see the potential of artificial intelligence to solve most problems in the world. But I’m not sure.

  In January 2015, I signed an open letter on artificial intelligence with elon musk, a technology entrepreneur, and many other artificial intelligence experts, with the aim of advocating serious research on the impact of artificial intelligence on society. Before this, elon musk warned people that superhuman artificial intelligence may bring immeasurable benefits, but if it is not deployed properly, it may bring the opposite effect to human beings. I am with him on the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Institute for the Future of Life, an organization to alleviate the existing risks faced by mankind, and the aforementioned open letter was also drafted by this organization. This open letter calls for direct research that can prevent potential problems, at the same time, it also gains the potential benefits brought by artificial intelligence, and at the same time, it is committed to making artificial intelligence researchers pay more attention to artificial intelligence security. In addition, for policy makers and the general public, this open letter is informative and not alarmist. Everyone knows that artificial intelligence researchers are seriously thinking about these concerns and ethical issues, and we think this is very important. For example, artificial intelligence has the potential to eradicate diseases and poverty, but researchers must be able to create controllable artificial intelligence. The open letter with only four paragraphs entitled "Priority should be given to the study of powerful and beneficial artificial intelligence" made detailed arrangements for the research priorities in its attached 12-page document.

  In the past 20 years, artificial intelligence has been focusing on the problems arising from the construction of intelligent agents, that is, various systems that can perceive and act in specific environments. In this case, intelligence is a rational concept related to statistics and economics. Generally speaking, this is the ability to make good decisions, plans and inferences. Based on these works, a large number of integration and cross-breeding have been applied in artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, cybernetics, neuroscience, and other fields. The establishment of sharing theoretical framework, combined with the ability of data supply and processing, has achieved remarkable success in various subdivided fields. Such as speech recognition, image classification, automatic driving, machine translation, gait movement and question answering system.

  With the development of these fields, a virtuous circle is formed from laboratory research to economically valuable technologies. Even a small performance improvement will bring huge economic benefits, and then encourage longer-term and greater investment and research. At present, it is widely recognized that the research of artificial intelligence is developing steadily, and its influence on society is likely to expand, and its potential benefits are enormous. Since everything produced by civilization is the product of human intelligence; We can’t predict what we may achieve when this intelligence is amplified by artificial intelligence tools. However, as I said, it is not impossible to eradicate disease and poverty. Because of the great potential of artificial intelligence, it is very important to study how to benefit and avoid risks.

  Now, the research on artificial intelligence is developing rapidly. This study can be discussed in the short and long term. Some short-term concerns are about driverless driving, from civilian drones to autonomous vehicles. For example, in an emergency, a driverless car has to choose between a big accident with small risk and a small accident with high probability. Another concern is lethal intelligent autonomous weapons. Should they be banned? If so, how to define "autonomy" accurately. If not, how to be accountable for any improper use and fault. There are other concerns. Artificial intelligence can gradually interpret the privacy and concerns caused by a large number of monitoring data, and how to manage the economic impact caused by artificial intelligence replacing jobs.

  The long-term concern is mainly the potential risk that the artificial intelligence system is out of control. With the rise of super intelligence that does not follow human wishes, that powerful system threatens human beings. Is it possible to have such a misplaced result? If so, how did these situations arise? What kind of research should we invest in order to better understand and solve the possibility of the rise of dangerous super intelligence, or the emergence of intelligent outbreaks?

  At present, the tools to control artificial intelligence technology, such as reinforcement learning and simple and practical functions, are not enough to solve this problem. Therefore, we need further research to find and confirm a reliable solution to control this problem.

  Recent milestones, such as the self-driving car mentioned earlier and the artificial intelligence winning the Go game, are all signs of future trends. Huge investment has been poured into this technology. What we have achieved now is bound to be dwarfed by what we may achieve in the next few decades. And we are far from predicting what we can achieve when our minds are magnified by artificial intelligence. Perhaps with the help of this new technological revolution, we can solve the damage caused by some industrialization to nature. All aspects of our lives are about to be changed. In short, the success of artificial intelligence may be the biggest event in the history of human civilization.

  But artificial intelligence may also be the end of human civilization, unless we learn how to avoid danger. I once said that the all-round development of artificial intelligence may lead to the extinction of mankind, such as maximizing the use of intelligent autonomous weapons. Earlier this year, I and some scientists from all over the world supported its ban on nuclear weapons at the United Nations meeting. We are anxiously awaiting the result of the negotiation. At present, nine nuclear powers can control about 14,000 nuclear weapons, and any one of them can raze cities. Radioactive waste will pollute farmland in a large area, and the most terrible harm is to induce nuclear winter. Fire and smoke will lead to the global Little Ice Age. This result has caused the global food system to collapse, with doomsday turmoil, which is likely to lead to the death of most people. As scientists, we bear a special responsibility for nuclear weapons, because it is scientists who invented them and found that their influence is more terrible than originally expected.

  At this stage, my discussion of disasters may have frightened everyone present. I’m sorry. But as today’s participants, it is important for you to recognize your position in the future research and development that will affect the current technology. I believe that we are United to call for the support of international treaties or sign open letters to governments of various countries, and scientific and technological leaders and scientists are doing their utmost to avoid the uncontrollable rise of artificial intelligence.

  Last October, I set up a new organization in Cambridge, England, trying to solve some inconclusive problems in the rapid development of artificial intelligence research. "Livelihoom Intelligent Future Center" is an interdisciplinary research institute dedicated to studying the intelligent future, which is crucial to the future of our civilization and species. We spend a lot of time studying history and going deep into it — — Mostly about stupid history. So it is a gratifying change that people turn to study the future of intelligence. Although we are aware of the potential dangers, I am still optimistic, and I believe that the potential benefits of creating intelligence are enormous. Perhaps with the help of this tool of new technological revolution, we will be able to reduce the harm caused by industrialization to nature.

  Every aspect of our lives will be changed Hugh Prince, my colleague in the graduate school, admitted that the Livelihoom Center was established in part because the university established the Center for Existential Risk. The latter examines the potential problems of human beings more widely, while the focus of the Livelihood Center is relatively narrow.

  The latest development of artificial intelligence, including the European Parliament’s call for drafting a series of regulations to manage the innovation of robots and artificial intelligence. Surprisingly, there is a form of electronic personality involved to ensure the rights and responsibilities of the most capable and advanced artificial intelligence. A spokesman for the European Parliament commented that as more and more fields in daily life are increasingly influenced by robots, we need to ensure that robots serve mankind now and in the future. The report submitted to members of the European Parliament clearly believes that the world is at the forefront of the new industrial robot revolution. It may be possible to analyze whether to provide robots with the rights as electronic people, which is equivalent to legal persons. The report emphasizes that at all times, researchers and designers should ensure that every robot design contains a stop switch. In Kubrick’s movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, Hal, a malfunctioning supercomputer, didn’t let scientists into the space capsule, but it was science fiction. What we have to face is the truth. Lorna Blazere, a partner of Osborne Clark International Law Firm, said in the report that we don’t recognize whales and gorillas have personalities, so there is no need to rush to accept a robot personality. But concerns have always existed. The report admits that in a few decades, artificial intelligence may surpass the scope of human intelligence, and artificial intelligence may surpass the scope of human intelligence, thus challenging human-computer relations. The report finally calls for the establishment of European robotics and artificial intelligence institutions.To provide technical, ethical and regulatory expertise. If members of the European Parliament vote for legislation, the report will be submitted to the European Commission. It will decide which legislative steps to take within three months.

  We should also play a role in ensuring that the next generation not only has the opportunity but also has the determination to fully participate in scientific research at an early stage, so that they can continue to exert their potential and help mankind create a better world. This is what I meant when I first talked about the importance of learning and education. We need to jump out of the theoretical discussion of "how things should be" and take action to ensure that they have the opportunity to participate. We are standing at the entrance to a beautiful new world. This is an exciting and uncertain world, and you are the pioneers. I bless you.

The Indian government falsely claimed that China’s mobile phone stole information to conduct a large-scale review.

  Overseas networkAugust 16 th According to Indian media reports, the Indian government issued a warning to various mobile phone manufacturers in China for rectification within a time limit on the grounds of "worrying about data leakage endangering security", and began a large-scale review of electronic products imported from China.

  According to the Times of India,The Indian government "suspects that China mobile phone manufacturers are stealing users’ information", such as contact lists and short messages, falsely claiming that they are engaged in "hacking", and issued a warning to the major smartphone manufacturers in China for rectification within a time limit.

  Although Apple, Samsung and Indian mobile phone manufacturers received similar notices, most of them were China mobile phone brands. According to reports, the warning was issued by the Indian Telecommunications Bureau, and a total of 21 companies were notified.

  The Indian media quoted an Indian official as saying, "The government requires these companies to carry out rectification in accordance with India’s safety provisions before August 28, and the government may also conduct audits to ensure that they comply with relevant regulations." The official also said that "if these companies are found to be in violation of regulations, they will be fined".

  According to The Times of India,The Indian government has started a large-scale review of electronic products imported from China on the grounds of "worrying about data leakage endangering security".

  A recent study by Indian Industry Group shows that the market value of China enterprises in India’s emerging telecommunications industry is increasing, reaching nearly $22 billion, which has aroused a strong reaction within the Indian government. They think that these China enterprises may illegally obtain information of individuals, enterprises and government agencies. According to reports, an internal government source said, "IndiaThe government believes that many electronic devices in China transmit or store data in servers in China, which may bring security risks, especially when the border tension between the two countries increases."

  This is not the first time that India has cracked down on China products. According to overseas reports, the Indian government announced on August 9th local time that it would impose anti-dumping duties on 93 kinds of products imported from China.

  According to Indian media reports, the trade balance between China and China is tilted towards China, and the trade deficit has reached 51.09 billion US dollars (about 339.8 billion RMB). A large number of goods imported from China flooded the Indian market, and’s smart phones have won "half of the country" locally, which has greatly hit the local industry. Earlier, a survey agency in India released a report saying that Indian consumers are more willing to buy China goods than local Indian goods. The report quoted the interviewees as saying that among similar products, Indian-made products are expensive, while China products have the most advantages in price and good quality.

  Gao Feng, spokesman of China’s Ministry of Commerce, revealed last month that in the first half of this year, India has launched 12 trade investigations against China, once again becoming the country with the largest number of trade investigations against China.

  According to the 2016 China-India Bilateral Trade Report released by the Indian Embassy in China in February this year, China has replaced the United States and the United Arab Emirates as India’s largest trading partner and the largest source of imports. In 2016, the trade volume between China and India reached US$ 71.18 billion, including US$ 11.75 billion in exports and US$ 59.43 billion in imports. India’s trade deficit with China was US$ 47.68 billion.

  Lan Jianxue, an expert on South Asia at the China Institute of International Studies and a former diplomat in India, said that China has been a key target country for India’s anti-dumping for many years, and it has always been so. However, he stressed that in view of the current tense confrontation between China and India, India’s adoption of this measure at this time does not rule out catering to the extreme anti-China sentiment in its own country.

How to adjust the lighting in children’s room? Don’t leave out these details

 one

Don’t choose lamps that are easy for children to touch the light bulb.

  Text/Figure Yangcheng Evening News reporter Liang Dongxian Intern Zhao Xiaoling (except signature)

  In many people’s conventional cognition, it is not good for children’s rooms to be too bright or too dark, especially for study. However, there are some new ideas that may subvert the traditional concepts you used to know.

  Author of Building a Growing Children’s Room from scratch — — Xu Xiao, a cross-border designer, said that even on cloudy days, the outdoor illumination is 10,000 lumens (lumens are the illumination unit), and people do not feel any discomfort when reading outdoors on cloudy days; However, indoor lighting rarely exceeds the same illuminance. Therefore, as long as the lighting is not direct to the eyes, there is basically no problem of over-lighting in children’s rooms, and it will not cause vision problems. Is this view correct?

  School is about to start. What should you pay attention to when you are ready to rearrange the lighting in the children’s room?

  Children’s myopia,

  The main reason is not the light!

  Is Xu Xiao’s point of view correct? Yangcheng Evening News reporter interviewed Sun Keqing, deputy chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. She said that Xu Xiao’s views are basically correct. Because as long as it is not direct vision or specular reflection, indoor routine reading lighting can rarely reach the level of damaging vision, so it is no harm to light it up.

  If myopia is not related to too bright light, what is the main cause of myopia among teenagers?

  Sun Ke Qing said that the main reasons are incorrect writing posture, or too long use of eyes. If you want to reduce the possibility of children’s myopia, it will be very beneficial to ensure a certain amount of outdoor exercise time every day.

  Of course, Sun Ke Qing said that improper lighting design can also cause children’s vision problems. For example, the lamp does not have a suitable lampshade or the height design of the lamp is unreasonable, which makes the light directly or reflect to the eyes. In addition, if it is a baby’s room, because the baby’s eyes are not fully mature, so you can’t use too strong and dazzling lights to avoid damaging their eyes. At this time, the lighting design should be as soft as possible.

  The light should be bright and soft.

  In fact, children’s rooms generally have the functions of studying, playing, resting and storing things at the same time. The overall indoor illumination should be higher than that of adult rooms. At the same time, the light should be soft and avoid glare. In addition, in different areas such as the study area, it is necessary to have corresponding local lighting to facilitate children to read books, do homework and find books.

  The overall lighting of children’s rooms can use chandeliers and ceiling lamps to create bright and fantastic lighting effects for the space, while the local lighting can meet different lighting needs with wall lamps, table lamps and spotlights. The selected lamps should give children a relaxed and interesting light sense in shape and color, so as to expand their imagination and stimulate their interest in learning.

  Sun Keqing suggested that the lamps in children’s study area can choose eye protection lamps. Good eye protection lamp is not easy to strobe, and its brightness and brightness uniformity are ideal, which can reduce eye fatigue and help children protect their eyesight.

  These security risks cannot be ignored.

  In addition, when installing lamps, we should also pay full attention to safety issues. Children are lively and active by nature, full of strong curiosity about things, especially young children, but they lack the necessary awareness of self-protection. Therefore, if the lamps are installed in children’s rooms, especially in infants’ rooms, care should be taken not to expose the power cord as much as possible, so as to avoid the unreasonable children playing with the wires as toys, thus causing the danger of electric shock.

  In addition, if the child is still very young, don’t choose lamps that are easy for the child to touch the light bulb, because many lamps will also heat up when they shine, and adults think that the negligible temperature is likely to burn the child’s tender skin. Therefore, when arranging the nursery, it is best to choose a lamp with a closed lampshade, or add a protective cover to the light bulb. In addition, movable lamps such as floor lamps and desk lamps should also be avoided in preschool children’s rooms to minimize the risk of electric shock.

Lifting the "unspeakable secret" in the Spring Festival, Jing’ an, a patient, went to work easily after the holiday.

Xinmin Evening News (special correspondent Yu Wenlong, reporter Jiang Yuezhong) "Thank you, Director Liu and doctors and nurses, for lifting the’ unspeakable secret’ for me. I was discharged from the hospital today, and then I can go to work easily. " Today (7th) is the first day of work after the Spring Festival. Mr. Wang, who finished the discharge formalities early in the morning, made a special trip to bid farewell to Liu Meiling, director of anorectal department of Shibei Hospital in Jing ‘an District, thanking her and her colleagues for "working overtime" during the Spring Festival for their successful operation.

Mr. Wang, who is in his thirties this year, is a white-collar worker in the company. He has been working at his desk for a long time and suffered from hemorrhoids. In the past six months, hemorrhoids have repeatedly bled and prolapse, but because of his busy work, he simply can’t take care of seeing a doctor. This is not true. Years ago, Mr. Wang worked overtime frequently, and hemorrhoids began to be a "demon" again. The bleeding was not only accompanied by prolapse and pain, but also people felt dizzy and weak, which made him miserable. He didn’t come to the anorectal department of Shibei Hospital until the holiday.
"Doctor, it is not convenient for me to ask for leave at ordinary times, and I am only free during the Spring Festival holiday. Please help me and arrange the operation!" Mr. Wang looked apologetic and pleading.
But Mr. Wang came too late, it was New Year’s Eve, and the hospital operating room only arranged emergency surgery.
Looking at Mr. Wang, who was pale because of long-term frequent bleeding, Liu Meiling immediately contacted Liao Hongxia, director of anesthesiology department, and explained the situation. Director Liao readily agreed: "We have a doctor on duty who can help patients arrange surgery." With the support of the Anesthesiology Department of the operating room, Director Liu quickly made nucleic acid for the patient and arranged hospitalization. During this period, he received the full support from the B-ultrasound room of the special inspection department and other departments. Director Liu and her team discussed the case according to the characteristics of Mr. Wang’s disease and formulated an "individualized" operation and nursing plan.

The next day, that is, on the first day of February 1, Liu Meiling and her team gave up their rest time and rushed to the hospital to operate on the patient. Zhang Yuping, the head nurse, personally sent the patient to the operating room and did psychological nursing before operation. Although the patient was considered to be a light mixed hemorrhoid before operation, after anesthesia, the patient’s hemorrhoid was "exposed": prolapse, bleeding and edema, which was obviously a severe acute hemorrhoid, which surprised all the medical staff present. The difficulty of the operation can be imagined. Fortunately, Director Liu has rich experience. She adjusted the surgical plan on the spot and decided to give the patient her improved compound minimally invasive surgery. Due to adequate preoperative preparation and simple communication with the patient, Liu Meiling took charge of the operation. With skillful medical skills, she gave the patient a minimally invasive operation with both internal and external hemorrhoids. The whole operation was very smooth, with small wound, less bleeding and short time, which reduced the pain of patients to a minimum. Surgery should not only determine the curative effect, but also give consideration to aesthetics. The postoperative assistant, Dr. Yu, immediately took a photo for the patient to see. The patient was very satisfied with the comparison of the photos before and after operation and gave a thumbs up.
After the operation, Head Nurse Zhang Yuping specially bought a big cake to share the happiness of the New Year with Mr. Wang and all the patients who could not go home for the New Year after the operation.

It is understood that over the years, the anorectal department of Shibei Hospital has been adhering to the treatment concept of combining traditional Chinese and western medicine and has formed its own characteristics. In order to make Mr. Wang’s wound heal as soon as possible after operation, they also used traditional Chinese medicine hip bath, special dressing change and laser physiotherapy to promote the smooth healing of Mr. Wang’s wound. Under the careful treatment of medical staff in the anorectal department of Shibei Hospital, Mr. Wang recovered smoothly and was discharged from hospital 6 days after operation.
Director Liu Meiling also revealed to reporters that every holiday, such as May Day, November Day and Spring Festival, when the rest time is a little longer, the anorectal team of Shibei Hospital will arrange several special operation days, which is to help office workers who are not convenient to take time off at ordinary times and arrange surgery for them. The purpose is to make it convenient for them to take advantage of the holidays to treat and recuperate. During the Spring Festival this year, more than 10 inpatients in the anorectal department of this hospital were all office workers.
